The potential legal action is the latest news in the saga over Stormy Daniels and a $130,000 payment Trump's personal attorney Michael Cohen made to her in the days before the 2016 presidential election.

Hornik spoke with Rosen Sunday afternoon to confirm he is not representing the president in this matter. He said Rosen has represented the Trump Organization for a number of years prior to Trump being elected president.

"Regardless of what you think about President Trump, he can pick anyone to represent him," Hornik said. "It's a compliment he has chosen our New York office and my partner Larry Rosen in the past."
